One of the more interesting (but little known) things about Christian theology is the concept of the devil. Most people think of him as this dude in red tights, with a pointy tail and horns and a beard. And a pitchfork. Like an evil ballerina who farms. But actually the devil is immensely beautiful....

Vanity Fair a long story online about the meltdown of Iceland’s economy. It’s a facinating piece about how a famously reticent, frugal people managed to create a financial bubble that is certain to go down in the history books alongside the Holland’s tulip craze. Although the autho...

Our boy The 1/3 turned us on to this important happening in June. A bunch of bands that longtime Buzzgrinder readers will recognize and appreciate are reuniting for a good cause.

We’d like to assume that the funky-looking new SmartDriver is a flaming piece of plastic with little or no value to everyday life;  however that’s what we did with the original SmartDriver, and we were dead wrong. In fact, the one I got over a year ago is still in active service and going stro...

Looks like Dell is serving up a little Apple compete with their new teaser for the "Adamo" which in latin means to fall in love with/lust after and in Dell's case looks to be a near-unibody laptop.  Everyone knows geeks like to see brand new tech taken apart and here Dell does it in reverse in all ...

Kassia: you’re really hitting a stride these days. Funny what you mention at the beginning of the article, that you can’t blink these days without some exciting new development in the digibook craze. It’s almost worse than hoola hoops. Question: what - besides time - is really prev...
